2026 Dialogue on Disability

Posted on January 5, 2026

Tune in to WXXI January 12-18 for Dialogue on Disability: The Herman & Margaret Schwartz Community Series on WXXI TV, radio, and at the Little Theatre.

This week-long series, made possible with generous support from the Fred L. Emerson Foundation, serves as the cornerstone of our ongoing MOVE TO INCLUDE partnership with WXXI and the Golisano Foundation.

Kicking off this year’s programming is a special event on Tuesday, January 5th. Join us at the Little Theatre for a free screening of “The Ride Ahead” and Panel Discussion followed moderated by Noelle E. C. Evans, WXXI News education reporter.

The film follows Samuel Habib, a typical 21-year-old, itching to move out, start a career, and find love. But no one tells you how to be an adult, let alone an adult with a disability. Can a community of disability activists help him follow his dreams?
